He's at practice Wednesday and is expected to be active Week 14 against the Eagles. Spencer Long has been starting at center but is in the concussion protocol. Lichtensteiger would be a big downgrade for the running game. Dec 7 - 1:19 PM

John Sullivan has already been signed as Lichtensteiger's replacement. This will be the second straight year Lichtensteiger ends on I.R. He'll head into 2017 having appeared in 8-of-32 games since 2014. Now 31, Lichtensteiger won't be back at his $3.25 million salary next season, and probably won't be back at all. Sep 27 - 2:30 PM

That's not going to help the Redskins' stagnant run game. The Redskins are going to have to get creative for Week 4. Coach Jay Gruden said LT Trent Williams could play some guard, something Williams did last week. Sep 26 - 3:05 PM

Doctson was eligible to return in Week 16, but the Redskins ended that dream by designating C Kory Lichtensteiger as their return player earlier this week. Doctson finishes his rookie season with just two catches for 66 yards in two appearances. With both DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon headed for free agency, Washington will not have much tape to judge as they determine if Doctson can fill the No. 1 role next season.

Jordan Reed (shoulder) said he expects to play Week 14 against the Eagles.

We're not sure what to make of all this as ESPN's John Keim said Reed looked to be in "obvious pain" at Thursday's practice. Despite what Keim saw, Reed claims to have his full range of motion back and coach Jay Gruden said he "looked pretty good" on Thursday. This is shaping up as a classic game-time decision. Fortunately the Redskins play at 1 PM ET this week, so we'll know his status relatively early.
